SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 261,006, dated July 11,1882.

. 'Application filed November 25,1881. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN BOVELLE LOGAN, of Indianapolis, in the countyof Marion and State of Indiana, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Combined Dressing-Bureaus and Bedsteads; and I do herebydeclare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description ofthe invention, which will enable others skilled in the art to whichitappertains to make and use the same, reference being had to theaccompanying drawings, which forma part of this specification.

My invention relates to a combined bureau and bedstead; and it consistsin details of construction and arrangement of parts that will behereinafter more fully set forth in the specification and claims, andpointed out in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1. is aperspective view of my combined bureau and bed when folded; Fig. 2, asection of same unfolded, or when used as a bed; Fig. 3, a plan view ofthe mattress-frame, showing the fastening device.

Referring more particularly to the drawings, A represents the sides ofbureau and bed-frame; B, two legs or supports for the bed when unfolded.These supports rest on ledges b when the bed is folded, as shown inFig. 1. The

supports B are securely fastened to the end piece, B, which is hinged atW to the upper end of the bed in such manner that when the frame isunfolded the end piece, B, and its attached supports B drop down andsupport the frame. The bed-frame is hinged at T to the bureau part,which consists of the drawers S, with clothes-press attachment. Thelower part, P, of the bureau has feetE E and a slot or opening, a, whichwill be explained hereinafter.

The mirror 0 rests between the dressers D Y when the bed is unfolded.The supports B and end piece, B, may be suitably decorated, carved,orornamented. For protection against catch F extends through thebed-frame, as

shown at F, and enters the slot or hole a in the bottom piece, P, sothat when the bed is folded up the spring-catch holds the bed firmly ina vertical position. When it is desired to unfold the bed thespring-catch is withdrawn by means of the pivotal hand-piece K. Themattress is held by means of the bucklestraps M.

Near the lower end of the bed-frame is a receptacle, S, for the bedding,&c., which is formed by the partition G. This receptacle is covered by afolding piece, G, hinged to a partition, and when turned up acts as aheadboard. The piece G' is held by a bolt, g.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim is 1. A combined bedand bureau,consistin'g of my own I have hereunto affixed my signature inpresence of two witnesses.
